If f(x) is a polynomial and f(a) = 0, then (x–a) is a factor of f(x) Proof of the factor theorem Let's start with an example Consider 4 8 5
In this case, The Remainder Theorem tells us the remainder when p(x) is divided by (x - c), namely p(c), is 0, which means (x - c) is a factor of p What we
Factor theorem state with proof examples and solutions factorise the Polynomials Maths Mutt Solution Here feel some examples of using the Factor Theorem
In this section, we will learn to use the remainder and factor theorems to factorise and to solve polynomials that are of degree higher than 2 Before doing so,
We can use the factor theorem to help us factorise polynomials and to solve polynomial equations Knowing ( ? ) is a factor means that you also know is

Title: Remainder Theorem and Factor Theorem and factor theorems to find factors of polynomials Examples 1 Using previous example
The Remainder Theorem for divisor ( − ) From the above examples, we saw that a polynomial can be expressed as a product of the quotient and the

the following are all examples of quadratic equations o 2 2 − 3 − 5 zero, and factor that polynomial, we can use the Zero Factor Theorem to solve it
remainder, which means that the (x − 1) is a factor of the (x 2 − 3x + 2) The next example will show how polynomial division can be used to factor a poly-

simply set each factor equal to the number to solve; the Zero Factor Theorem only works with zero, because the only way to get a product of zero is to multiply by zero When an equation is factorable, we set it equal to zero so we can use thefactoring. Other polynomial equations such as -ݔସെͳͺݔଶͶͺൌ-
